英语英语阅读理解汇编练习题20篇及解析一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Have you found this? Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.A. happierB. more boredC. more excitedD. more pleased （2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.A. sightB. memoryC. heightD. hearing（3）Why are people in southern California happy all the time?A.

Bullies（欺负）are a big problem in schools. Every week, many children are afraid to go to school. They are afraid they will be picked on（找茬）by a bully. One study found that 52% of children reported being bullied at least once a week. Sixty percent say that they know someone who could harm them. One student was always being teased because he was short. He didn’t like to go to school because he had to face the bullies.Some children choose not to go to school at all so they can avoid the bullies. When they miss school, students fall behind their classmates. A new program is helping put an end to this problem. The program is teaching kids how to deal with bullies. This is helping more children feel safe in school.One school principal is working to end this negative（消极的）behavior. Last year, he decided to let students know bullying is not allowed there. Students are now encouraged to report bullies and stand up for themselves. Those found to be bullies face harsh penalties（严厉的惩罚）.Students at his school participate in a program called “Be Bold.” In this program, students work together to prevent violence. They do skits（小喜剧）and go into classrooms to talk about the problem. They give other students strategies on how to deal with bullies.The principal says that the school has changed since he has addressed (重点提出) the bullying problem. But there are other steps parents can take to help their children with this problem. First, students and their parents should know the school’s rules ab out bullying and what they should do if it happens. Second, children should be taught to stand up for themselves. They should try to resolve issues(解决问题) by talking them out. If the problem continues, parents and children should record each incident. Children should tell someone if they are being picked on. Many children keep bullying a secret. Third, parents should look for warning signs of bullying. These can include cuts and bruises, worrying, wanting to stay home from school, or a sudden drop in grades.(343words)65. Are many children afraid to go to school every week?66. Is the new program teaching children how to deal with bullies or avoid the bullies?67. What do the students do in the “Be Bold” program?68. How many other steps can the parents take to help their children with the problem?69. What is the purpose of the passgae?65. Yes.66. How to deal with bullies.67.

话题1 创新技术Passage 1It seems like technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly（持续地）require our attention. We text our fr i ends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.In the future we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we don’t pay much attention to it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible(隐形的) and let you li ve your life.We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday life. Do you have a smoke alarm in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you it’s there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensor （传感器）, the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.In the future, our houses will use calm technology to open the door for us. Or even to choose the best music for our mood. The minute we walk through the door, our house will respond by turning on the lights and music, and perhaps even starting to prepare our dinner!1~2 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下第三段的主题句；5 题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

九年级英语阅读20篇1I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on Christmas Day. It was always quite in the emergency room on this day, so I was not expecting any patients. When I was complaining about working on such a beautiful festival ,five people showed up at my desk —a pale woman and four small children.“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.“Yes, ”the woman answered weakly and lowered her head. But when they started to present their problems, things got a little vague(模糊的）. The children had earaches, but they could not tell me which ear was in pain. The mother complained of a cough, but she seemed to be pretending.Something was wrong. I didn’t say anything but explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them.” Take your time, please,” the mother responded. On a hunch(出于直觉)I checked their charts(记录)—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.I look out at the family, huddling(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and chatting with each other sweetly. Quietly,I went back to the nurses’ station and told them that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We worked hard to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas Day. Later, when the family was leaving, the 4-year-old girl ran back and gives me a kiss. “Thanks for__________________________today，”she whispered in my ear.1.

The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn’t want to damage it.Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the cardthere was this message: The Marine Biological Association（海洋生物学协会） would pay a shilling（先令） for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”（吉尼斯世界纪录）. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents（洋流） in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experimentwas a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea’s currents.1.

She ate her favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a good day.Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate's front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother." Elizabeth said, Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked."From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere." Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.John road along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey, Sis" he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the Sloppy Joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time." Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend's face.Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself,"____________________________________".88.

However, after my first visit to UK during the summer vacation, I think one thing should be added to the list—street artists.In York, I met a “purple man”. He was in the middle of the street and was pretending to ride a bike. Most of the time, he stood there without making a move. When people went close to him, he would make fun of them putting paint in their Some ranaway to avoid being painted while some accepted it with a smile. From the collection pot beside his foot, I could see that he made a living by taking photos with tourists.I met another performer in Edinburgh. He stood quite still (静止的）and was simply staring at the ground with several flyers (传单）in his hands. When a passer-by took a flyer, he .would dance for a while and then stand still again.Not all street artists are performing for money. Once I saw a young man just lying on the street; facing the ground as if listening to the heartbeat of nature.Before I went to Britain, I had heard that the people there were quite serious and somewhat dull. But what I saw on the streets changed my idea about them completely. These people are interesting and full of unexpectedly good ideas. They just wanted to express themselves in their own ways.Seeing is believing一that’s another thing I learned from my trip, and from the amazing street artists.1.How many street artists does the writer mention?(1分)2.How did the purple man make fun of people who went close to him? (2 分）3.When a passer-by took a flyer from the street artist in Edinburgh, what would he do? (2 分）4.What does the writer think of British people after his trip?(2 分）5. What does "Seeing is believing” mean in Chinese? And what does the writer mean by saying it? (3 分）7You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by lookingat what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, "I wish someone would invent something for ..." Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. You can often come up with a solution to a problem if you think about it in a new way. When you try to invent things, you actually use a problem-solving technique(技巧). This problem-solving technique includes two parts:____________and___________. It can work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?1. Inventions are close to our daily life, aren’t they?2. What was the problem that Cochrane found in her life?3. According to the passage, why do people create things?4. How can we find a problem?5. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.6. What do you want to invent for your everyday life? Why? (Give at least two reasons)8.Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. When he was a boy, Jobs and his father always worked on electronics.

We were grocery shopping in a small store one day when I noticed a family come into the store. It looked like a mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. They were clean, but dressed in worn clothes,and it was clear they were less fortunate. They pushed a cart through the store, carefully selecting items, only necessary foods.My mother and I finished our shopping and headed toward the counter to pay. As we got there, the family was in front of us, with one person in between. As I watched the family place groceries on the conveyor belt, I heard the mother ask the clerk ever so often to check the price, as she only had so much to spend. This took a while, and the person in front of me was getting impatient, mumbling about how he wished they would hurry and finish. When the store clerk did a final total, the woman did not have enough money, so she began pointing to different items to be put back.My mother then did something I will never forget. She reached into her purse, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the woman. The woman looked very surprised and said, "I can't take that!" My mother looked directly at the woman and quietly replied, "Yes, you most certainly can. Consider it a gift. There's nothing in that cart you don't really need, so please accept it. "The woman then reached out and took the money, holding my mom's hand for just a moment, and with tears runningdown her cheeks, said, "Thank you so much. No one has ever done anything this nice for me before. "I learned from my mother that day that the best kind of giving is giving from the heart.1.

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way！1.Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help ?___________________________________________________________ _________2.A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he ? ___________________________________________________________ _________3.What did the man do to the boy’s sign ?___________________________________________________________ _________4.What happened to the boy’s hat soon ?___________________________________________________________ _________5.How did the man write the sign?___________________________________________________________ _________6.Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one?

中考英语阅读理解(共20篇)

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解（共20篇）（来自朱庄初中）（1）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3.

Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6.

He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice.

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50% of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result? Some people guess that Paris will be the winner. London and New York could only show plans for gyms to be built for the Games, but Paris showed off their well-run gym that was built for the 1998 Soccer World Cup. One problem with Paris is that they ran against Beijing for the 2008 Game.The IOC members thought that French people were too proud.But don't rush to give an answer. Wait until July 6. On that day in Singapore the IOC will tell the world which city is going to be the next Olympic host. Before that, nobody can be sure!( )16.

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.( )1.From the passage we learn that locusts________.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colors to protect themselves( )2.How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A.

Because it is very and strong.B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.( )5.Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colors for Animals and PestsB. Colors of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colors for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and Pests（10）In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.( )6. Who made Donald Duck film? ______A. Mickey Mouse.B. Clarence Nash.C. Walt Disney.D. Pluto.( )7.

Brush your teeth the right way.Brush your teeth at least twice a day – after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks, too.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( ) 16.

The dark sky starts to look brighter. Then suddenly the sky is all pink(淡红色的) and red and gold(金色的) even a little green.The earth has turned until the sun is shining on the place where you are. This is what makes it day.The sun is always shining. But it can only shine on one side of the earth at a time. It can’t light the side that is turned away from it. When the sun is shining on the other side of the world, it is night where you are. At night, you can see the stars.All day the stars are in the sky, b ut the light from the sun is so bright that you can’t see them. When the sun is gone, the stars are bright enough to see. Stars look as tiny(微小的) as pinheads(针头)，but some are even bigger than the sun. Big things look little when they are far away. In the sky, planes look like toys(玩具), but on the ground you can see that they are big. Stars are millions of times bigger than planes. They look very small because they are so far away. The sun is closer than the other stars. So it looks bigger.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

The other person may say,“O K, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you.
